Yosemite and More

 Recently took a trip to the eastside of the Sierra's with Friedhelm and Nancy. One of the highlights for me was the Laws Museum in Bishop California. It markets itself  as a railroad museum but is much more than that. It's a frontier town, agricultural museum, mining museum, wagon museum, rock museum and much, much more.  I changed many of the photos to Sepia, hope you enjoy.

 The Eastern Sierra is always a good place for Fall Colors.  This trip took me over Tioga Pass and down to the Bishop area. This is well south of Sonora Pass, my last post. My intent was to go almost directly to the Bishop area but as I came off of Tioga Pass I saw some wonderful color and decided to spend a little time along Lee Vining Creek. Before I hit Tioga Pass I came across a very still Tenya Lake reflecting Medicott Dome. The air here contrasted greatly with the Eastside. You'll notice in the background a little haze.

I must have stopped a least 10 times taking photos  of the various cloud formations that were changing constantly. It seemed like everywhere you looked, front, back, left or right there were beautiful colors. As I neared Lee Vining some lenticular clouds seemed to be forming in front of me. Then I met George, you can see George's face, right? Go, See, Enjoy and Photograph Dave
